Ruby Lin (林心如) and Wallace Huo (霍建華) received a lot of blessings from friends and fans when they announced their romance via social media on May 20. The couple have been friends for over ten years, and according to Ruby’s manager, their close friendship did not blossom to romance until earlier this year, after Ruby’s 40th birthday in January. According to the Taiwanese media, Ruby and Wallace have always had feelings for each other, but they cherished their friendship and hesitated to take the next step. Apparently, Wallace’s mother also knew about it. She said she was aware that her son liked Ruby for several months now, and she encouraged her son to pursue her. “Whether or not he chooses to get married, I’ll respect his decision,” said Wallace’s mother. “As long as he is happy.” She revealed that Wallace once brought Ruby over to dinner a few years ago so she could meet her. She had a fantastic impression of Ruby, saying that she’s very pretty, laid-back, and grounded. “I trust my son’s eyes,” she said. Wallace’s mother was surprised when she found out about Wallace and Ruby’s confession online. Asking why the sudden announcement, Wallace said, “Because it’s time.” Wallace’s mother then said, “You’re not young anymore. Get married soon.” The couple are rumored to be getting married in Hawaii next year, but they have neither confirmed nor denied this report. Creds: QQ
